Best seeds to plant at Half Hill!

Post by Headsnap

List your favorite thing to plant @ Half Hill and why! Just wondering what some of us maybe missing out on as i dont know some of the benefits to other formulas but here is mine & why!

16 Songbells - Because obviously we need as many Spirit of Harmony as we can get!

ps: when im in good shape on Spirist the 16 songbells are good for 2 Golden Lotus @ Spirit vendor and im always needing Flask of the Earth. So this is a nice way to earn to Golden Lotus per day as its pretty easy to pick up the other 4 motes of harmony and hit then Venvor!

i do the same as you and plant 16 songbells.

mainly because they give me more materials then mat plants do.and it allows me too earn money with my LW more easily also with which i can easily afford the mats for stuff like flask and pots.

My dual gatherer is done planting all the foodstuffs needed to get my cook up to speed. So I'm going to be planting mostly cloth for a while. I always plant the thing from Farmer Yoon's daily, though. Keeps down running costs. You could conceivably dig up the thing once you turn in the quest and plant whatever you want then, but I feel bad about that.

And my currently only level 90 alt is a blacksmith, so it's 15 crafting mats there, and the daily. That way I don't need to do much with him at all, which is nice.

Actually I primarily make the turnips... I have a rather large quantity of Spirits at this point in the game. Not worth as much as they were towards the initial release. Especially since everyone wants the 496 craftable gear now and they're already expensive because of the Bloods required.

I plant those trees Winter something, Autumn something and spring something. Its fun to place those around.

Veggies sell for a lot on my server- probably because the AH is very sparse, and almost no one sells them. Depending on the veggies, I can get like 6-12 per piece for them. Generally, I go with what the favored crop is for the day, so I get the maximum yield. If the crop is one that I don't think will sell well, then I go for the pink turnips.

Personally I usually just go for the song bells. On my server the BS weapons still go for about 5-6k each and I can make one every few days. I paid for my husband's panther, 2 for myself, and another for one of my guildies just from making weapons.

But....since they fixed the bug with the terrible turnip, I plant jogu's recommended crop (4) along with the song bells. I then save all the crops and I send them to my farmer toon (an alt dressed up like a hog farmer; the pig is named Chittlins) and sell them during the weekends for a good price. I've made about 2k in one weekend from just those extra crops I've saved. And people always get a good laugh out of my Georgian dialect typing.

I have about 48 untilled plots, because the effort required to grow 5 veggies per plot or get 1 mote a day is better put into any other portion of the game to make gold and just buy the ingredients when you need them.

It doesn't take very long to plant on the plots so not sure why you'd just skip that part of the game play.

I plant high forecast crops.

Well, doesn't take that long to plow, but I imagine with 48 plots where you have to fight a vermin/defend alluring crop/fight off that vine on a bunch of them, it could end up tedious to do it every day.

But the counter argument is you'd be doing dailies or farming mats which are also tedious.48 plots is 4.8 Spirits a day. At their worst that is 4 stacks of materials. At best you could craft something of high value.

Even without the auto plow etc, 5 mins per 16 plot farm to till, deal with issues, plant, deal with issues. is a better time investment than the maybe 3 dailies you could do in that 15 min period required to plant your 48 plots.

you don't have to grow whatever they daily crop is, just dig it up and replant something else.

On a high yield day, you usually get over 100 pieces of whatever veggie you grew off of 16 plots. On my server, that stack sells for 600-800 gold. Alternately, you could get a spirit and a half from, each plot, which equals about 3 golden lotus, at about 200 a pop. I have a hard time imagining what else you could do in the maybe 15-20 minutes that it takes to plant and clean up those 3 farms that will net you 1800-2400 gold. Are the selling prices much lower on your server?

As others have pointed out. On my server, growing veggies is actually more profitable then growing SoH. My main grows mostly veggies because I have a ton of SoH.. A couple of my alts grow SoH.

OK not everyone has alts on different servers, or factions, but I have no problem getting 2k a pop for these pets on most of the servers I play on, and it is beneficial for me as a means of financing other toons.

I don't think there is any right answer, it all depends on your economy but one thing is for certain, theres money in them their mounds o' dirt, and a heck of a lot more than you'd get from spending those 15 mins or so doing other stuff.

@Entropy- I get 5k a pop on my server for Sapphire Cub pets. Our AH is bare bones, and I am the only one who makes them. I have the owl up for that too, but the cubs are much more popular.

Since I'm sitting on 60 SoH's, I've starting to grow veggies now and putting them up on the AH.
